First, familiarize yourself with installing vanilla FreeBSD. |
| 9 |
Specifically the partitioning (bsd labels and such) and boot process. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Second, boot off any FreeBSD-8.x kernel bootable media, and get a shell |
| 12 |
interface. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Third, unpack the stage3 and continue to install as if it was a Gentoo |
| 15 |
install, bear in mind the obvious FreeBSD differences (kernel |
| 16 |
compilation, modules loaded in the bootloader, etc). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Troubleshooting should be easy if you got the second step right. |

As of now, a bunch of @system currently keyworded ~x86-fbsd doesn't |
| 21 |
compile/work as it should. Help (as in: patches, bugs with proper |
| 22 |
patches reported upstream) is always welcome. |
